The wheat in the field was gradually turning yellow, and it was time to harvest. During this time, Wu Jiazhen went to the farms in the outskirts almost every day, and urged the village to patrol day and night to guard the wheat fields so that no one would steal the grain.

The law and order in Linyong County was originally very good under Wu Jiazhen's management, and there had been no such vile incidents as street robbery in the city for many years.

However, as a large number of refugees flooded into the county, theft and robbery happened from time to time, and there was even a case of killing people for robbing food. The refugees were moved to a temporary relief center, where they were strictly guarded, and it was unknown what kind of chaos it would turn into.

"There is a severe drought this spring, and the reduction of wheat production is a foregone conclusion. Now we can only hope that the harvest will be sunny and sunny, so that the farmers can safely harvest the grain into the granary."

Wu Jiazhen stood in the yard and looked up at the sky, "Don't let it rain, otherwise this season's crops will be in vain."

The old slave on the side also said, "The common people live their lives based on the income from the fields. If they can't make money, the family will have no way of living."

"Exactly."

"father."

Wu Xibin came back from outside, "It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

Wu Jiazhen snorted coldly, "You know it's so late, so why didn't you come back earlier?"

Wu Xibin said in surprise, "Father, who messed with you?"

"Who else but you?"

"Me? How did I attract you?"

Wu Xibin felt that he was unreasonable, "I went to the academy early in the morning, changed my clothes after school and went out again, I haven't seen you all day, why did I provoke you?"

Seeing his innocent face, Wu Jiazhen became even angrier, "Do you know what time it is?"

Wu Xibin felt guilty when he asked, "...it won't happen next time."

Wu Jiazhen frowned, "Is that girl Qi'er pestering you again?"

"My cousin didn't pester me."

"That's why you are pestering her."

"..."

Wu Xibin was speechless.

Seeing this, Wu Jiazhen felt a headache, "After the Dragon Boat Festival, you can go to Zhoucheng."

The autumn test was in August, so there was no need to leave so early, but he was afraid that this kid would indulge in love and waste his studies, so he wanted to send him away as soon as possible, so as not to get angry with him every day.

"I made an agreement with Wen Jin to travel with me before, but he went on a study tour, and I don't know when he will come back."

Wu Xibin didn't want to let go of Xie Qi, so he talked about Yan Wenjin, saying that he wanted to wait for him to come back and set off together.

Such a far-fetched reason made Wu Jiazhen laugh angrily, "Okay, you are a gentleman who keeps promises, promises are valuable, then wait..."

Just as he was about to walk away, he suddenly had another idea, "Government must be based on people's livelihood. I don't need to say more about what I mean, you can understand it. It's just that knowledge can't be empty talk, it needs to be practiced. Let's do it, starting tomorrow, I will leave it to you to take care of the temporary relief..."

Wu Xibin frowned, "I've wanted to tell my father about this for a long time. There are many young and strong refugees among those refugees. They are not handicapped or lame. They can support themselves, but they don't do anything, just wait for the county government to come back." People who would rather live with two bowls of porridge a day than put in effort, should not be sympathized with.”

After a pause, he continued, "If you want my son to say that there is no need to build a temporary relief center, it would make them lazy and just wait for ready-made food all day long, which is a matter of course..."

"As the saying goes, "Sheng Mi is kind to Mi Qiu, and my father worked hard to raise food from the gentry and countrymen to support them. They may not appreciate it, but if one day my father can't produce food, they must be dissatisfied. Now I will give it to you from time to time." Adding to the blockage, there may be some troubles in the world."

Seeing Wu Jiazhen's silence, Wu Xibin said again, "My son doesn't agree with the practice of driving out refugees from neighboring counties, but father's method of taking them in is not a long-term solution..."

Wu Jiazhen gave him a deep look, "Go to the study to talk."

On this day of rest, Chu Ning and Fang Shengyu took Xiao Huihui into the mountain early in the morning. They had a clear goal and went straight to the topic, which was to dig ginseng.

In order to keep it secret, Fang Shengyu did not bring the nursing home with him, only Liu Zi and Zhu Zi followed him, and there was also an elderly man who was specially invited by Fang Shengyu to gather medicine and was also a tenant of his family. His surname was Jia, and his name was Jia Dong. old six.

"It's here, it's here."

Chu Ning took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Take a break first, and dig later."

Fang Shengyu couldn't wait, "Old Jia, show me how old this ginseng is?"

"Third Young Master, wait a moment."

Jia Laoliu didn't care about wiping his sweat, so he quickly put down his back basket, took out a small hoe from it, and dug the soil carefully, "Look, this branch should be an old ginseng, but the exact age depends on the reed head." ..."

Fang Shengyu watched him digging ginseng with great interest, and from time to time ordered Liuzi and Zhuzi to hand him water to wipe his sweat, "I finally met a treasure, you have to be more careful, so that you don't dig it up and damage it."

"Third young master, don't worry, my subordinates are careful."

Jia Laoliu was indeed very careful and attentive, even tearing off a ginseng whisker as thin as a hair, extremely meticulous, but the speed was too slow.

At first Fang Shengyu was still interested, but gradually he became impatient, "It's been half an hour, why haven't we finished it yet?"

Jia Laoliu laughed, "Digging ginseng is a delicate job, so don't rush it, otherwise it won't be worth the money if you damage the roots."

Seeing that Fang Shengyu couldn't stay any longer, Chu Ning dragged him to see the Ganoderma lucidum. As a result, the little fat man went crazy when he saw the Ganoderma lucidum. Ah, I haven’t seen any good ones, like a robber, yes, it’s a bit of a squeeze when they come up, they’re still small, so you’ve broken them off, how can they grow longer in the future.”

"Didn't I keep a few small ones, don't worry, I will never plant them."

Fang Shengyu held a few ganoderma lucidum and laughed like a fool, "Is there any more? Are there any in this mountain? Take me there quickly, it's so fun to pick these things."

Chu Ning hehe.

Last time, I don't know who wanted to throw away the Ganoderma lucidum she worked so hard to pick.

The two went back after playing for a while, only then did Jia Laoliu dig out the ginseng, "Third Young Master, Miss Chu, come and take a look, this ginseng looks very good, it is really a rare good."

Hearing what he said, Fang Shengyu was happier than Chu Ning, "Sixth son, reward him with a red envelope."

Chu Ning admired the ginseng with a smile on his lips, and didn't show any politeness to him. Liu Zi and Zhu Zi were already used to this, but Jia Lao Liu thought too much, thinking that she and Fang Shengyu were a couple, so his attitude was even more serious. Be humble.

After climbing the mountain for a long time, the little food that I ate early in the morning has already been digested. Although it is not yet noon, Xiao Huihui is already hungry. It went out for a walk and brought back two pheasants. It's called beggar's chicken.

Chu Ning laughed, "This kid doesn't follow his mother's taste at all. His mother can't get tired of eating roasted rabbits, but he prefers roasted chicken. Ever since he ate beggar's chicken, he fell in love with it again. , as long as you catch me, I will do it for you."

Fang Shengyu was in high spirits, "Xiao Huihui, don't look after yourself, we are hungry too, hurry up and catch a few more, let us all taste what this beggar chicken is like."

Seeing Xiao Huihui rushing out in a gust of wind, Jia Laoliu blinked in bewilderment, he looked like a wolf, why did Third Young Master Fang say it was a dog?
